Policy influence, lessons learned and pandemic preparedness
Sebastian Funk
Centre for Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases
Need infrastructure for rapid collection, cleaning, harmonisation, storage, sharing and publication of data.
Also a clear protocol for maximising the scope and amount of data that can be shared privately and publicly.
Policy makers should not have to rely on outputs from a single model.
Need to have sustainable structure in place that ensures constructive dialogue between policy makers and modellers.
We are working with WHO, CDC etc. to develop software tools for analysis and modelling of outbreak data.
We are developing training material and courses for modelling in outbreaks.
